SUMMARY
Two beautiful separate homes, and a studio above the 3 car garage, are set on this sun-drenched 25-acre property, offering a rare blend of privacy, space, and natural beauty. The main residence features a bright, open concept layout with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, filled with natural light and a warm, welcoming feel. Privately positioned on the opposite side of the property, the charming A-frame ADU includes 2 bedrooms, 1 bath - perfect for extended family or immediate rental income. Each home has its own septic system and separate propane tanks as well. Unlike many mountain properties, this remarkable setting enjoys sunshine and expansive usable land, creating a bright, open environment that's both peaceful and inviting. While it feels like your own private forest retreat, you're just five minutes from downtown Aptos and a little over ten minutes from the beach. A rare combination of privacy, convenience, and the Santa Cruz lifestyle.

Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1990, the property is 34 years old and appears to retain its original finishes. The kitchen features dated oak cabinetry and older white appliances, and the bathrooms show basic, original-style fixtures. While the home is well-maintained and functional, it lacks modern renovations and requires cosmetic updates throughout.

The property features two separate homes and a studio above a 3-car garage, providing exceptional potential for rental income or multi-generational living.
